Our Story
Kanel was founded by a crew of food and wellness-loving women in Montreal, Quebec. Juggling full-time jobs, families, and social lives, we wanted to make (and eat!) home-cooked meals we were excited about. While we found it easier than ever to shop for amazing veggies, grains and proteins, the grocery store spice aisle left us feeling uninspired.
We knew we could be better. So we created our own collection of perfectly balanced spice blends using real, premium ingredients. No preservatives. No fillers. No hidden allergens. And absolutely, positively no artificial flavourings.
Today, we’re proud to bring you exciting flavours and fresh ingredients from around the world, from sustainable sources we trust. Our all-natural salts and spice blends make home cooking easier, faster – and more delicious than ever.
Welcome to our table.

Our Company
PHILOSOPHY
We believe that cooking shouldn’t feel like a chore, which is why we’re all about easy-to-use blends and intuitive accessories. Whether you’re working long hours or a time-strapped new parent, our products make discovering and sharing new flavours easy.
RESPONSIBILITY
Though we’re far from perfect, we’re working hard to make the world a better, friendlier, more delicious place through responsible decision-making. We try to operate with integrity and thoughtfulness, choosing partners who share our values. Sustainability is a big priority for our growing brand, and we make it a point to refrain from using needless plastic and excess packaging. Instead, we use compostable bags, recyclable tubes, and FSC® certified paper in our packaging whenever possible.
CULTURE
Based in Montreal, Kanel is led by a small team of food-loving female entrepreneurs. We wanted to build a company we could believe in – innovative and ambitious, but also flexible, encouraging and family-friendly. We’re passionate about sustainability and believe food has the power to bring people together – and should be crazy delicious when it does.
